Possible meet in Ayrshire

It's in Eglinton Park in Irvine, North Ayrshire mate, looks like a good site for it.

Your more than welcome mate
Everybody is welcome for this, in fact the more the merrier and this particular site is big enough to hold a whole lot more of us. Once I've got a decent idea of whos coming I can confirm with the park and I'll post up the details of how to get there and where we will be, in the meantime you can find the details if you search for Eglinton Park, that will give you an idea of the venue and directions.

It's no bother to bring a butt or two along if you don't find one.
.....and I'll sort out 'chute poles(whether it's picking up the ones from Daves or cutting some fresh ones).
That would be great if you could thanks Josh, I pm'd Dave but he has'nt got back to me but theres plenty of time yet. I'm going to confirm the booking for the !7th, 18th, 19th April as no one seems to have any objections to these dates so far and we need to book early to get the dates before the summer season of fairs and events start to really get going.
They're moving house. Probably still in mid-move chaos.
Those poles are too big for me to transport but I could take a saw to them then scarf/pin them. Thinking about it I doubt if there'd be three hazel long enough in the grove so grabbing those ones while they're going seems like the best idea.
No problem mate, you'll be very welcome.

Just an update folks, I've just had confirmation of the site booking in today for the 17 / 18 / 19th of April so looking forward to seeing everyone there. I'm hoping to be there from about 14.00 onwards on the Friday all being well, so anytime from then on after for you folks arriving will be good.

If its possible could you mark up a google map with the basics, entrance, parking area camping area ?

Just off 737 and signposted Steve.
Don't ask me to do 'puter stuff though.
Back to J for that.

I am hoping to pop along to this. Need to check my brownie point tally but given how close to me it is I should get along one day at least.
Ah, don't say that It's a big enough place you can slope off somewhere quiet and still come visit.
Talk to me about the poles ? Are these the ones from Morch's ?
I have a set of collapsable ones but they won't take a fire under them. Fine for a workshop area though.
atb,

C'mon Josh, just pull the brim down on the hat a wee bit more than usual and wear some bushcrafty shades. Besides it may be raining.
We still have another bottle of Jura at home in Kilwinning...

Sorry folks, haven't been on much lately due to wife being in hospital undergoing some major surgery, but she's back home again so hopefully get back to some sort of normality. Thanks to all who were asking for her.
OK to business, as Barn Owl says Stephen it's the same place, when you enter following the signs from the 373 the camp area is just on the field to the left. A wee note of caution though the wooded area is a bit wild so if your hammocking the ground may need a wee bit of a shave. The rangers have offered a ramble around on the Saturday at 2.00 for flora and fauna which should be interesting, and all is now set for this going ahead. Come on Josh it's a big place so there is plenty space to keep a bit of privacy and the grounds are excellent for a wander about.
Can anyone help out with these poles for the chute cos that is one item that will be really needed specially if the weather is a bit wet or dismal. My car won't manage anything of that length, unless we cut them but that would require some means of reconnecting them to get the length needed, anyone any suggestions?

Only just spotted this ... if there's still room I'll add myself to the list

No problem mate you are more than welcome. This looks like it'll be the biggest get together North of the divide.
